April means Camp NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). This year, I’m trying it again because a self-help book for people with brain injury sprouted in my brain and demanded being written. I obeyed. I set my Camp goal as 25,000 words. I don’t usually manage to last the month, and I thought halving the November…

Self-Help Book Launching Into Camp
Self-help book. I didn’t think I’d ever write one. I don’t feel qualified for one. Yeah, I’ve created a website to share knowledge about how to recognize, diagnose, and treat brain injury. It’s relatively easy (though super tiring, draining, exhausting) to research and put together facts, especially since I’ve essentially been doing that since 2005.…
Pandemic Stages Are Like Brain Injury Stages
The longer this pandemic grinds on, the more similarities I see with how my brain injury recovery went. It’s so sad that physicians and rehabilitation haven’t innovated in the last two decades to change those stages. I wrote my latest post for Psychology Today on this topic, on how a concussion, or COVID-19, devastates us…
Brain Injury Website Soft Launch!
Good news! My brain injury website soft launch is here!! My pandemic project, an idea brewing in my head for almost a decade, bits and pieces written over a long time, all coming together. When I wrote Concussion Is Brain Injury, I saved the related-name domains, intending to expand the book into a website. A…
The Clinic Q&A Five: Shift Concussion Management
The Clinic Q&A Five is designed to help people discern what clinics will suit their brain injury needs best. Read what Shift Concussion Management will provide you in your recovery. I ask five questions; the clinic provides answers, links, images, video, and contact info. You get to compare and decide. This is a new feature,…
New Website Feature!
Working Towards A Concussion Website When I wrote Concussion Is Brain Injury back in 2012, I reserved domains to create a website dedicated to pulling together all the information on concussion, using my book as a springboard. Due to the usual problems associated with brain injury, I failed in doing so, though I did try…
Website Work Occupies, Distracts from COVID-19
Summer arrives and so does NaNoWriMo! Time to work on my website. Meanwhile, I’m still figuring out this ShopHERE stuff. Lesson one: I’m really not a business person. It takes a hell of a lot of stamina and as much tolerance for rejection as a writer. Well, not rejection, being ignored. I think I prefer…
Fanship is On!
Piracy. Capricious review takedowns. Nasty lies in author wars. Real fans being drowned out by haters and unable to know if their money is going to their fave authors. This is the current state of selling books on the internet, particularly on the virtual bookstore that shall not be named. Enter blockchain and a bright…
Gamma 38 to 42Hz Study: Results and Discussion
On 13 April 2020, I began a single subject study into audiovisual entrainment of gamma brainwaves at 38 to 42Hz. The ideal gamma brainwave frequency one wants is 40Hz. I finished it yesterday, 10 May 2020. Today, I present the results of four weeks of this study. Results I measured the effect of gamma 38…
